    Patrick

  5. NHL community:
    It is not too late to make a difference!
    You can help. Please give a read and "pay this forward" Some things are bigger than sports.

  8. Hey Ron,

    Hockey Hall of Famer Scott Stevens' career ended kind of awkwardly. In January of 2004 he missed a few games with the flu and then was diagonsed with Post-Concussion-Syndrome and missed the rest of the season. He would never play again as a lockout wiped out the following season and then his official retirement in September of 2005. Truly one of the greats and my favorite athlete of all-time, I don't feel I have ever honored him the way he earned and I really hope I did it with this article- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/172153-scott-stevens-forever-beloved-forever-hated-and-forever-remembered

    Let me know what you think if you get a chance, if not no worries.

  9. I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

    I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/160529-a-true-sports-fan-pledge

  10. I thought you might be interested in reading this. I'm pre-empting the NHL's announcement, scheduled for sometime next week.
